1732: Earth Temperature Timeline - explain xkcd - 1 views

  •  
    "This comic is a timeline on how the temperature has changed from 20,000 BCE (Before Common Era) to the present day (2016), with three predictions for the rest of the 21st century depending on what actions are taken (or not taken) to stop CO₂ emission. This comic is a direct, but much more thorough, follow up on the previous global warming comic: 1379: 4.5 Degrees. By having readers scroll through millennia of slow-paced natural changes, Randall uses the comic to confront the the rapid temperature rise in the recent years. Over the past 100 years, human action has produced a large amount of CO₂ emissions, which have caused a rise in average global temperature through the greenhouse effect. This is called global warming and is part of a climate change, a subject that has become a recurrent subject on xkcd. There are still many people who claim that this is not happening, or at least that it is not caused by any human actions, called climate change deniers. One argument of theirs is that global warming is happening for natural causes, summarized with the phrase "temperature has changed before". "

Teaching climate science & action - the 4-7 year old version - 0 views

  •  
    "Teaching climate science & action can seem daunting: for university-level lecturers, teaching to younger children can be quite intimidating. For primary-level teachers, the science and scope can seem too vast and fast changing to cover. For everyone, the content can be overwhelming. As adults, how do we present this topic to children: give them the information they need without crushing them? I decided to face the challenge, and over the course of one rather sleepless night, put together some materials for my 6 year-old son's class. This post summarizes and communicates that experience, in the hope that others can take ideas and inspiration, and will be encouraged to volunteer to teach about climate in primary schools. Teaching and engagement in schools is now part of all of our work, as researchers, academics, parents, activists, advocates, so I hope this idea spreads. The 4-part lesson plan worked quite well: the topics & materials held the children's attention, gave them varied aspects to think about and interact with, and they seemed to come away with deeper understanding. The whole thing took roughly 1 hour. This is doable!"

Educated Hope in Dark Times: The Challenge of the Educator-Artist as a Public Intellectual - 0 views

  •  
    "... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

Acción climática - 0 views

  •  
    "La campaña ActúaYa.bot es una llamada a la movilización ciudadana para frenar el cambio climático. Aprovechando las innovaciones tecnológicas, esta iniciativa se sirve de herramientas de inteligencia artificial (IA) para promover el cambio de comportamientos. El bot de mensajería para la acción climática (enlace a la página de Facebook de las Naciones Unidas) te sugiere acciones que puedes incorporar en tu día a día para reducir la huella de carbono, como viajar de manera de sostenible, ahorrar energía o comer menos carne. Abre el Bot, elige una acción, llévala a cabo y regístrala. Así enviarás un mensaje a los dirigentes de gobiernos y empresas, diciéndoles que las personas como tú apoyan la acción climática y están dispuestas a participar. La campaña resalta los efectos positivos de la acción colectiva en este momento crítico de la historia del planeta. Cuanta más gente participe, mayor será el impacto. ¡Participa y muestra tu apoyo a la acción climática urgente! Esta iniciativa surgió poco después de que el Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático publicara un informe alertándonos de que, con los compromisos adquiridos en 2015 con el Acuerdo de París, la temperatura media del planeta aumentará más de 3º C."

JRC Publications Repository - GreenComp The European sustainability competence framework - 1 views

  •  
    "The development of a European sustainability competence framework is one of the policy actions set out in the European Green Deal as a catalyst to promote learning on environmental sustainability in the European Union. GreenComp identifies a set of sustainability competences to feed into education programmes to help learners develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that promote ways to think, plan and act with empathy, responsibility, and care for our planet and for public health. This work began with a literature review and drew on several consultations with experts and stakeholders working in the field of sustainability education and lifelong learning. The results presented in this report form a framework for learning for environmental sustainability that can be applied in any learning context. The report shares working definitions of sustainability and learning for environmental sustainability that forms the basis for the framework to build consensus and bridge the gap between experts and other stakeholders. GreenComp comprises four interrelated competence areas: 'embodying sustainability values', 'embracing complexity in sustainability', 'envisioning sustainable futures' and 'acting for sustainability'. Each area comprises three competences that are interlinked and equally important. GreenComp is designed to be a non-prescriptive reference for learning schemes fostering sustainability as a competence."

Qué es un plastic attack y cómo hacerlo correctamente - 0 views

  •  
    "Seguro que las últimas semanas has oído hablar de los plastic attacks. En el caso de que no los conozcas, ya te cuento yo lo que son y mi opinión sobre el tema. Para empezar diré que es una iniciativa que busca reducir el plástico en el envasado de productos. Se centra sobre todo en el sobreenvasado, en los envases absurdos o, por decirlo con más claridad, en todos los envases inútiles que solemos encontrar en algunos supermercados. El objetivo es muy parecido a la campaña #DesnudaLaFruta, aunque esta se centra evitar cualquier tipo de envase en frutas, hortalizas y verduras. Si quieres saber más sobre este tema te recomiendo este enlace. En qué consiste El sistema de llevar a cabo estos "ataques" es devolviendo el plástico a los supermercados. ¿Cómo? De una manera tan simple como suena. A la salida del supermercado, los consumidores sacan los productos de sus envases y dejan estos en el propio supermercado, en un carro o donde corresponda. Esto se suele hacer de forma organizada, varias personas a la vez, de manera que resulta muy fácil ver la gran cantidad de envases innecesarios que hay en muchas de las estanterías de los supermercados. Eso sí, hay que tener en cuenta algo que te contaré más adelante, ser coherente con lo que pedimos. Por eso, a mi modo ver, hay una forma correcta de participar sin aportar más plástico al asunto."

Todos y cada uno de los seres humanos del mundo, hasta los más indiferentes y perezosos, forman parte de la solución. Por suerte, hay cosas facilísimas que podemos introducir en nuestra rutina y, si todos lo hacemos, lograremos grandes cambios. Se lo hemos puesto fácil y hemos recopilado tan solo unas cuantas cosas de las muchas que puede hacer para obtener resultados."
